Then this bug is about finding a way for autopkgtest to do what we mean
here. If there's a solution available in -proposed, we want to find it -
in this case it'd have been upgrading python3-distutils.

(In a perfect world we'd want to then tell proposed-migration to enforce
this constraint, but we aren't really ready for that.)

Cheers,
